Midweek MSG

After completing my 7 day no-grain no-sugar challenge, I feel the same as I did before the challenge. That might be because I ate rice once and drank a beer. I don't know.

I can tell you one thing, though. I was so conscious of my food. I haven't had any chocolate, ice cream, or cake. That's something. 

Going forward, I'm thankful to know that I don't need an abundance of bread to be full, and I will survive after dinner without a Hershey Kiss. I feel like I'm on the right track. Despite a little depression over the scale not changing, I know I'm working toward a healthier me and it won't happen overnight. Baby steps. 

Tonight, I needed a little midweek thai food. I had hot & sour soup, a spring roll, and a side of rice. I was to tired to cook, Kyle had a craving for noodles, and the rest is history. It's fine... I worked my ass off in spinning, at least. And we've been eating the pulled pork I made earlier this week for pretty much every meal. All about balance. 

I'm meeting with the nutritionist/dietician at the hospital where I work soon, and I can't wait to learn about what I'm doing right, what I'm doing wrong, and how I can eat for my best possible self. [Insert line re: body and temple here.] I hope to continue to limit my sugar and grain intake, and I can promise that I will keep working towards a mostly whole-foods diet.

Also: thanks to everyone who is actually reading this. Even if there aren't many comments, the page views let me know that I'm not just talking to myself. And even if I'm just talking to a fat old man on dial-up in Nebraska, I'm still thankful for the outlet.
